On October 1, 2025, IKA hosted the fall meeting of the “Chef Erfa” of the WVIB Black Forest. The WVIB is a platform for medium-sized, globally active industrial companies in Baden-Württemberg. The association's goal is to facilitate the exchange of experiences, further training, and consulting.
After a welcome by IKA Vice President Werner Kanzinger, the managing directors of the respective companies were given comprehensive information about IKA's products, development, and strategy. This was followed by a tour of the company's laboratory and process technology facilities.
In separate groups, the participants gained an insight into virtual reality and were able to test the VR glasses for themselves. Afterwards, they were informed about the wide range of testing options in the Test Center and a live demonstration was also given. In the afternoon, the focus was on the exchange of experiences between the respective managing directors on various topics.
